This document drafted by the City ofi St. Paul Department ofi Public Works Survey Section, 900 City Hall Annex, 25 West Fourth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102. EXISTING CONDITIONS WABASHA STREET intersects Concord Street at approximateiy 45 degrees. This creates undesirable turning movements an driver confusion. At further issue are the long walk crossings which compromise pedestrian safety. INiT1ATfNG ACTION The Final Order for this project was initiated by the Department of Pubiic Works. The final order for the street improvement (CF-96-268) was approved by the City Councif on Mar. i 3, 1996. Condemning and taking additional right-of-way would make construction of a traditionai 90 degree street intersection possible. fn conjunction with a"bump ouY' constructed on Concord, pedestrian walkways couid be shortened and clearly delineated. �`'ts l, ALTERNATE A traffic island could be built to cieariy delineate tuming movements at the intersection but it would eliminate left turns onto Wabasha from Concord. Local businesses are opposed to this design. Pedestrian safety co�cerns could be met with this appraach.
